I cycle through favourite words that I like using as much as possible. It used to be 'enlightening' and I'd use the phrase "How enlightening!" or "Enlighten me" a lot.

Now... I suppose my favourite word at the present time would be 'debauchery'. It's... the sound of it, is amazing.

Debauchery is of course the excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures - so I like saying "What debauchery is this?!"

Serendipity: the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way
A fortunate stroke of serendipity
I also love the words 'gorgeous' and 'crimson'. They just...sound pretty :p As well as 'vernacular'.
